Major Development

Grapevine Main Station (TexRail)

The 42,000-square-foot rail station opened to the
public in April 2021. This included Peace Plaza
at Grapevine Main Station, which is large enough
to accommodate 3,500 guests and a 150-foot-tall
Observation Tower offering 360-degree views of
the city and beyond. A 38,000-square-foot Plaza
also includes the “Peace Circle” art display, with
larger-than-life bronze sculptures, depicting an
1843 peace treaty negotiation between then
President of the Texas Republic, Sam Houston
and ten American Indian Chiefs/leaders.

Trinity Metro’s TexRail commuter rail service
began in January 2019. Since then, over one-
million passengers have used the service which spans from downtown Fort Worth, through Grapevine,
to Terminal B at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Over 150,000 ticketed passengers have
utilized the Grapevine-Main Station keeping it the most popular Saturday destination for the TexRail
system.

Monthly ridership across all nine stations peaked in December 2019 with over 51,000 ticketed
passengers riding TexRail. Throughout the first quarter of 2020 ridership was dramatically reduced
due to travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, ridership has steadily
increased as the economy reopened and is now approaching pre-pandemic levels.

Hotel Vin
Opened in September 2020, Hotel Vin serves as the
gateway to Historic Downtown. Located adjacent to
the new TEXRail station, the hotel invites guests to
embrace and explore all it has to offer, as well as the
convenience of being steps away from wonderful
shopping, dining, and scenery in the Main Street
District of Grapevine.
Hotel vin has 120 guest rooms and nearly 15,000
square feet of indoor and outdoor space, and an
additional 38,000 square feet of outdoor plazas.
